Chapter 598: Chapter 251: Danxia’s Grand Wedding, Reactions from All Sides_3
But in a split second, he vehemently shook his head, pushing away that feeling.
“Duan Feng should be satisfied with the wedding gift I gave him and his wife!”
Murmuring to himself, Luo Chen returned to his residence on Danxia Peak.
It was a spiritual mansion where the Spirit Qi was relatively dense.
In the desolate and silent mansion.
The Fierce Divine Fragrance was gently lit, and the Rising Dragon Pill was swallowed.
In solitude, he practiced his cultivation technique, absorbing Spirit Qi from all directions.
...
The excitement gradually subsided.
Duan Feng, dressed in a close-fitting red robe, walked into the bedroom.
Looking at the figure of a beautiful woman seated on the bed under a bridal veil, a rare gentleness appeared on his face.
Holding the ceremonial scale, he lifted the veil.
“Sister Xia, I’m back.”
Feng Xia’s eyes were sparkling, full of tender affection.
“My Lord, from now on, you should call me your wife.”
“Wife!” Duan Feng chuckled, but his smile was quickly frozen. “Your voice?”
The sound that entered his ears was as smooth as silk and as clear as a spring. It was slightly strange, yet extremely pleasing to the ear.
Gone was the dry hoarseness of the past.
“Your throat!”
Feng Xia touched her throat and exclaimed, “It was Luo Chen who cured me.”
For a moment, Duan Feng was somewhat at a loss.
After a long while, he couldn’t help but sigh, “We have him to thank for bringing us together.”
Who could deny that?
If Luo Chen hadn’t dissuaded him initially, Duan Feng might have plunged into the Golden Core relics in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, a place as destructive as a meat grinder.
The chances of him coming back alive would have been slim.
If Luo Chen hadn’t helped, Feng Xia, after being dismissed by the Hundred Herbs Pavilion, wouldn’t have survived on her milk tea shop, let alone have the chance to warm up her relationship with Duan Feng during that time.
The fact that the two of them ended up together owes a great deal to Luo Chen.
“We must find a way to repay him properly in the future!” said Feng Xia.
“That’s something for the future. Let’s not talk about that tonight.”
Duan Feng got onto the bed and pulled down the large red curtain.
“Yes, the Li family of Qin Flower River.” Sima Huiniang said.
Luo Chen looked at the message, puzzled: “I remember their family is also involved in the elixir business, and we had business conflicts before.”
“That was then, this is now. Their Ancestor doesn’t have much lifespan left, and is about to pass away. Unfortunately, their elixir business has been hit by us and the Zheng Family continuously, resulting in lesser and lesser profits. They couldn’t even afford to support their Foundation Establishment Stage protector.”
“Now that their Ancestor is going to die and the protector has left, the Li family of Qin Flower River is shaking.”
“So, they are desperately in need of a new support, with the hope of surviving a few more days, until another Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator appears in their family.”
Amidst Sima Huiniang’s explanation, Luo Chen gradually understood this family.
Looking at the message, Luo Chen understood the likely resources of the Li family of Qin Flower River.
Nestled by the river, they had a vast grassland planted with many medicinal herbs.
Without the protection of a true Foundation Establishment Cultivator, such a place was surely unprotected.
An alliance through marriage?
“What’s your opinion?”
Sima Huiniang became spirited, “I think it’s viable. The Li family of Qin Flower River may not have deep roots, but the resources they control are extremely good.”
“If baited through marriage, whether it’s a mutual aid relationship or devouring their resources slowly in the future, either way it would be a great move!”
Luo Chen chuckled.
It seemed that Huiniang was really thinking far ahead.
Of course, the mutual aid relationship referred to the beginning of the marriage alliance, and the pact that both sides would forge, which would have a time limit.
If the other party truly produces a new Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they can mutually support each other.
If the time limit is exceeded, Luo Tian Creed can then devour everything they have.
“Okay, I agree. For the marriage, who did they propose?”
“The Li family sent out Li Yingjun. Her cultivation level is not high, merely at the Seventh Level Qi Refinement Stage. Her main attraction is her noble lineage, as she’s the direct granddaughter of the soon-to-be deceased Ancestor.”
Sima Huiniang gave the name of their proposed marriage candidate.
Then, her tone hesitated a bit before she slowly added:
“They wish to marry the Hall Master of our Pill Hall...Qu Lingjun!”
Not long ago, Qu Lingjun had advanced to the Fifth Level Qi Refinement Stage.
Luo Chen then resigned from his part-time job as the Hall Master of the Pill Hall and handed it over to Qu Lingjun.
It was both a way to reduce his own burden and to encourage Qu Lingjun in his progress in Pill Refinement Technique.
As a result, Qu Lingjun became the youngest and lowest cultivation level Hall Master among the Luo Tian Creed’s several halls.
No one questioned this!
Because Qu Lingjun was Luo Chen’s disciple.
Also because when Luo Chen was in Broken Mountain Gang, he had served as the Hall Master of Pill Hall at the same cultivation level.
However, now the marriage candidate proposed by Li family of Qin Flower River, was actually Qu Lingjun.
“This has gotten interesting!”
